Emperor Scorpion Riders

Post by Siercon and Coral »

The scorpion clan in Lego history seems to have been a brief unhighlighted awesome group of medieval warriors. They are very cool and for awhile I've been wanting to make them large battle worthy mounts. So using the contest in the "LEGO NPU" group as an excuse and trying to stay true to our medieval fantasy thread, here are our Great Emperor Scorpions!

Those are awesome! I've always been rather partial to the Shadow Knights and these are perfect mounts for them.

Excellent work! I really like the repeater crossbow design. I may have to borrow some of these techniques.

Firstly, these are just awsome, truly a job well done and something I'm sure we all wanted to see since the scorpion knights first came out. Secondly, I'm assuming that the rubberized parts are inside out lego tires. I've seen this a few times and I was wondering, what kind of tire is it, and could you perhaps provide a pic of the part itself? Amazing Scorpions :D
Back to the front!
